Have you ever wondered what the codes on your beer bottles meant? As you probably thought, that weird code is the date information when the beer was bottled, here's a site that helps you understand the date codes, as each brewery's code differs. (Link)

Want to try beer from the NEWEST brewery in Manitoba, Farmery Brewery? They have their very first batch available to try at their Luxalune Gastropub in Winnipeg! (Link)

If you love beer as much as me, you should be on Untappd by now. It helps keep track of beers you've tried over the years. Not only that, you can share photos of said beer on your iPhone/android phone. (Link)

Too late now, but this past Saturday was the NationalBeer Day in USA, a day to honour the end of prohibition in the States. (Link)

I did a quick poll on Twitter asking what brewery or brand changed beer for the rest of their life. I got 16 responses. The most popular response was Unibroue! Unibroue, in fact, changed my beer tastes as well. Other breweries included in the poll were: Coors Light, Big Rock,Green Flash, McAuslan, Firestone Walker, Half Pints, Summit, Westmalle, Rickard's and Abita/Purple Haze/Turbo Dog.

Lastly, I'm working on a list of Canadian Breweries, if I'm missing any breweries, let me know! (Link)

Welcome to BeerCrank.ca! I'm a bit obsessed about craft beer, especially Canadian craft beer so I mainly review Canadian beer but I love to try beer from all over the world as well. My goal is to help influence the casual beer drinker to go out and expand their beer palate one way or another. Feel free to send some feedback!
